From the Lewiston (Me.) journal
The KennebunkpOrt cOnfagrat1on reminds US
that deacon, in a rather slow-gong Maine town,
not long ago, wrote to a wealthy New Yorker, who
was born in the town, asking him to subscribe to-
ward a new church in his native village The New
Workers reply read as follows: "My Dear Sir-You
don't need a church half so much as you need a
good fire engine" The New Yorker meant well
but the deacon hardly knew how TO take the letter
and was disposed 10 be indignant.
